520 Recounts the fateful 1912 gridiron clash that pitted one
of America's finest athletes, Jim Thorpe, against the man
who would become one of the nation's greatest heroes,
Dwight D. Eisenhower. The story begins with the massacre
of the Sioux by the U.S. Army at Wounded Knee in 1890,
then moves to rural Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indian
School, an institution designed to "elevate" Indians by
uprooting their youths and immersing them in the white
man's ways--including football. Guided by genius coach
Glenn "Pop" Warner, the Carlisle team stormed the country,
humiliating such powerhouses as Harvard, Yale, Michigan,
and Wisconsin, and smashing American prejudices against
Indians. By 1912 the national championship was within
their grasp. Then, less than a quarter century after
Wounded Knee, the Indians would confront, on the playing
field, an emblem of the very institution that had
slaughtered their ancestors on the field of battle.--From
